Russell F. Jorgensen, 46, will become President of
Pacifica Foundation on October 1 of this year. He will
leave the American Friends Service Committee to
which he has given many years of distinguished service.
Trevor Thomas, who has been both Foundation Presi-
dent and KPFA Manager since 1961, and who had,
upon assumption of this heavy double burden, requested
early relief from one or the other, will continue as
station manager of KPFA. He joins me in enthusiasti-
cally welcoming Russell Jorgensen to this phyically and
mentally demanding, but rewarding field of public
activity.
I have no doubt that many listening participants of
KPFA, KPFK. and WBAI will share with the Board of
Directors, the station staffs, and advisors, a feeling of
gratitude to Trevor Thomas for his vision, his creative
understanding and his dependability and honesty as
exemplified during the recent U.S. Senate Subcommit-
tee hearings. We are fortunate indeed to have him con-
tinue as KPFA Manager.
Mr. Jorgensen has served continuously on the Pacifica
Board of Directors since 1955, and brings to his new
position much experience in administration, fund-rais-
ing and public relations. As associate executive secre-
tary for the AFSC he has worked in housing, race
relations, farm labor, penal reform and several inter-
national programs. In 1949 in Japan he helped estabUsh
the first International Student Seminar and two semi-
nars for repatriating Japanese. With his wife, he has
directed a variety of projects in Israel, Mexico and the
U.S. He is one of the founders of the Friends Commit-
tee on Legislation for Northern California and from
1959-62 he was clerk of the Berkeley Friends Meeting.
In 1961 he and his wife were among the 400 jailed as
'freedom riders' in Jackson, Mississippi.
It has been my privilege for approximately a decade
to be associated with Pacifica. I came to know Lewis
Hill intimately and his magnificent vision of commu-
nication on lofty levels of intellectual search and of
aesthetic perception, communication, and sensitivity. I
have seen the fruits of his vision mature under Harold
Winkler, Trevor Thomas and so many other colleagues
sharing in what, on the death of Lewis Hill, I ventured
to call 'this audacious and challenging adventure of
the mind and heart.' Russell Jorgensen, whose work on
the Board of Directors has shown understanding and
dedicated to the purposes and ideals of Pacifica, will
be supported by the capable staffs of the three stations,
by a strong Board and by our listeners. The next years,
I am sure, will be nobly productive ones for Pacifica.
We shall find this 'adventure of the mind and heart'
increasingly audacious and ever more challenging.
R. Gordon Agnew, D.D.S., Ph.D.
Chairman, Pacifica Board of Directors

11 :45 VARIATIONS BY COPLAND In 1930, Aaron Cop-
land wrote one of his most powerful pieces, his
Piano Variations'. This highly percussive and
dissonant work was orchestrated by the composer
in 1957. The resulting Orchestral Variations' are
more colorful than the keyboard version, but
concentrate on bringing out the lyrical rather
than dynamic elements implied in the 1930 piece.
